I have got an iso file, which was created on MS Windows. When I try to

file on Linux?

file <whatever>.iso says?


Thanks, John.

$file filename.iso
filename: data

Doesn't look like an ISO then, file should say something like these:


[summer@bilby ~]$ file downloads/*.iso *.iso
downloads/dcc-3.0pr1-i386.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM ' (bootable) downloads/home-3.0.R3.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'home3.0 ' (bootable) downloads/pxes-1.0-15PB-tiny.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'ISOPXES ' (bootable) ComputerDatasafe-1.8.5.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM ' minikick.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'MiniKick ' (bootable)
[summer@bilby ~]$

Time to review how it was created.
